Great rhymes plus great beats equals great music! This is the formula that any Hip Hop artist truly dedicated to their craft should choose to live by. The Hip Hop world is constantly looking for a breath of fresh air. Well Hip Hop fans need to look no further. Take a deep breath inhale and become intoxicated by the sounds of the Super Group eMC!

Formed in 2007, eMC is comprised of four spectacular lyricists: the Milwaukee, born phenom Stricklin, the widely respected Lyricist Lounge MC, Wordsworth, and the legendary Brooklyn bred, former Juice Crew member Masta Ace.

The Wisconsin native Stricklin made noise in the late 90’s when he was signed toTommy Boy Records and was featured on several of their releases including ‘Its Over” with Royce 5’9”. Wordsworth was an integral in the success of the groundbreaking MTV program “The Lyricist Lounge Show” which debuted in 2000. Wordsworth would later release two solo LPs Mirror Music (2004) andThe Photo Album (2012). These wo rhyme spitters caught the ear of Masta Aceand he featured them on his last two classics 2001’s Disposable Arts and 2004’s A Long Hot Summer.

What makes this group so special is that it was basically formed at the request of the fans. Having toured extensively with Ace since 2001, the trio became very close and realized how natural it was to be on stage together. The fans recognized this chemistry as well and often asked if there was a group album planned in the future. Well in 2008 that question was answered emphatically when the trio released their critically acclaimed debut album “The Show” on M3/Traffic Entertainment.

“The Show” was an instant classic among Hip Hop purists around the world and established eMC as being among the elite in the now trendy Supergroup phenomenon. After three years of heavy touring from 2006-2008, the group’s members branched off to re-establish their solo careers. Masta Ace teamed up with Rap veteran EdoG in 2009 to release “Arts & Entertainment” followed by an album dedicated to his late mother “Son of Yvonne” exclusively over MF DOOMbeats in 2012. Also in 2012, the brilliant Wordsworth dropped his second solo effort “The Photo Album”. In March 2014 eMC finally came back together and dropped an ep, “The Turning Point”, released on M3/Penalty Entertainment/Sony Red.

Now finally, the “Triple Threat” is back with new music, a full length album entitled‘The Tonite Show”. The album takes listeners through a day in the life of eMC as they prepare to be the musical guests on the popular late night show. The album features an impressive list of guests including B-Real (Cypress Hill), Xzibit, Sadat X, actresss Rosie Perez, as well as comedians Russell Peters and Tony Rock.

The lead off single “Fly Thoughts” featuring Pearl Gates is already charting at college, satellite and mix show radio.With three videos already shot and two more planned, 2015 will prove to the be a most successful year for eMC.

The first single and video released will be “Fly Thoughts” featuring Pearl Gates and produced by Kic Beats which encompasses the true hip hop that eMC is known for and sets the stage for the group’s journey to perform.

Masta Ace shares, “We realize it’s been a long wait for the fans since the ep came out but I think the extra time in the studio really paid off. With the help of some very talented people in Hollywood and in the music industry we have really outdone ourselves. I can’t wait to see the fans react to this record. It’s an experience that goes beyond the great verses and hooks. I’m proud to be a part of this and to be in a group with two talented, responsible and grounded brothers like Stricklin and Wordsworth!”

Masta Ace emerged onto the scene with the legendary Juice Crew and has since gone on to release records through both independent and major systems. With an extensive body of work under his belt, he tours relentlessly throughout the world. Punchline and Wordsworth were both integral in the success of the groundbreaking MTV program “The Lyricist Lounge Show” and have since continued to release music independently. Completing the group is the Milwaukee born and raised emcee Stricklin who established a name for himself in the late 90’s while signed to Tommy Boy Records.

eMC’s initial alliance developed in early 2005 with the aptly titled track “Four Brothers”. Making it’s way onto the internet before even being properly mixed, the song built quite a buzz and talk of a collaborative project eventually lead to the official establishment of the group.

Now in 2014, eMC is taking their music to the next level with the help of the newly founded partnership between Penalty Entertainment and Sony RED distribution. An EP is expected to release this April with a full-length album following in the summer. The CEO of Penalty Neil Levine had this to say about their latest signing “I’m honored to be working with eMC. These guys are amazing lyricists and true to the art form. Masta Ace, Stricklin, Punchline and Wordsworth are hip hop to the core.”

eMC Member Masta Ace was quoted saying this about the new venture:

“I see this signing as a real turning point in the direction of underground hip hop and how it will be viewed by the masses. We now have the freedom to continue to make the music our fans want, but with the help of Penalty Records, we have a platform for exposure to a larger audience.”
